Nissan Austria just released the WLTP range and efficiency figures for the new 2018 Nissan Leaf.
We can see the WLTP range and efficiency ratings in the image below.

From now on, we should simply ignore the NEDC ratings. For a better understanding of the WLTP figures, I made the table below.
|
Version |
Visia and Acenta (16 inch wheels) |
N-Connecta and Tekna (17 inch wheels) |
|
WLTP city range |
415 km (257 miles) |
389 km (242 miles) |
|
WLTP combined range |
285 km (177 miles) |
270 km (168 miles) |
|
WLTP combined efficiency |
19,4 kWh/100 km |
20,6 kWh/100 km |
Notice that WLTP efficiency figures measure plug-to-wheels consumption, this means that the onboard charger efficiency matters. Nonetheless, as the reader Rodrigo Melo noticed, the combined efficiency and range figures don’t add up. Or the combined range figure is wrong, or it’s the efficiency.
Anyway, it’s obvious that if you care about range and efficiency, the versions with 16 inch wheels are the ones to choose. Furthermore, when it’s time to replace tires, they’re also cheaper.
It’s a shame that the 16 inch wheels aren’t available in every version.
Another interesting thing it’s the official 0-100 km/h time: 7,9 seconds. Keeping it below 8 seconds is nice to lure customers from premium automakers like BMW.
Thanks Johannes for the heads up.
